Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

Buyu is a niche Chinese style perfume that has emerged in China in recent years. It first opened up the market by inviting Shen Shuli as the brand spokesperson, and later gained a firm foothold in the market by insisting on its Chinese style positioning and good product quality.

This time, Meng Yuan was invited to be the series spokesperson for their upcoming new series "Three Lives Three Worlds".

Soon it was time to shoot the perfume-themed promotional video.

Meng Yuan arrived at the shooting location as scheduled. She first greeted the director and photographer of the shoot, and then was taken to the dressing room.

"Ms. Shen's flight is delayed, so she will come later. Let's do your makeup first and take this opportunity to look at the shooting script. We will shoot your solo shot first."

After the staff member gave the instructions, he hurried to prepare. Meng Yuan took the script handed to him and opened it.

This series endorsed by Meng Yuan has a total of 3 perfumes, all of which are mainly woody in scent.

Because they are products from the same series, which is also called "Three Lives, Three Worlds", the plots of the three promotional videos of the three perfumes seem independent of each other, but in fact they can also be understood as a pair of lovers experiencing the emotional entanglement of three lives and three worlds.

In the first life, Meng Yuan was an immortal from the Nine Heavens. He came to the mortal world for fun and passed by Shen Shuli, a young monk who had just come down the mountain. The monk recognized the fairy, and the fairy teased the monk to be her follower out of mischief.

Before parting, the fairy casually said to the monk, as long as you can become an immortal, they can meet in heaven. Unfortunately, the monk had already been aroused by love and had no chance of becoming an immortal. In the end, he was alone with the green lamp and the ancient Buddha.

In her second life, Meng Yuan was the legitimate daughter of a civil official in the imperial court. She had been childhood sweethearts with Shen Shuli, the eldest son of a neighboring military general. The two agreed to get married after Shen Shuli returned from his expedition to the imperial court. Unfortunately, Meng Yuan received an imperial edict before her lover returned.

From then on, from the spring flowers covering the walls to the winter snow, Meng Yuan could no longer wait for the smile of his beloved in the dimming lights. The two could only look at the same blue sky across the tall palace walls.

In the third life, Meng Yuan is a freshman on a university campus. On the orientation day, he sees his senior Shen Shuli welcoming him in the sunshine. He is attracted to her at first sight. Little does he know that Shen Shuli also falls in love at first sight with the girl in front of him.

With the thoughts of young boys and girls, the two flirted with each other. Finally, in the autumn of the second year, after the celebration party for the freshman orientation, Shen Shuli took the slightly drunk Meng Yuan into his arms, and the two embraced each other tightly with their true hearts.

After all, it was just a promotional video for perfume, and the plot was not complicated, but Meng Yuan still couldn't help but sniff after watching it.

When the director came in and was about to explain the scene to Meng Yuan while she was putting on makeup, he saw that Meng Yuan's eyes were red.

"What's wrong? Did you draw eyeliner inside your eyes?" The straight male director was very unromantic.

Meng Yuan: "I read the script and was moved."

The director slapped his thigh and said, "I'm so touched! I can empathize with you! That means I can get into the role! Now it's easier for us to shoot!"

"But," the director changed the subject, "I know you are moved now, but don't be too moved yet."

Meng Yuan: ???

Director: "Because the plan was to finish the filming in one day, and half of our shots were on location, so the shooting order was reversed."

"While the sun is shining brightly at noon, let's first film the sweet scene between you and Mr. Shen in your third life."

"Wait until the evening to film the second life of the two of you playing as bamboo horses."

"Finally, when it's completely dark, I'll film your forbidden love in your first life."

After the director made the arrangements, he was very worried and reminded Meng Yuan again:

"The last two scenes are all night scenes, so it doesn't matter how many NGs you have or how late you shoot. The worst that can happen is that all the staff will stay up all night with you."

"But for the first scene, we need sunlight, so we have to finish it before the sun sets, okay?"

"You should take this time to find your form, but once you are ready, come over to shoot your solo scenes first to get into character. Actor Shen will be here soon, and we will shoot your love scenes after he finishes styling."

Seeing Meng Yuan nod in agreement, the director was about to leave, but then he turned back and gave another instruction:

"Just think about the sweet feeling you had at the beginning of your first love. If your first love wasn't sweet, think about idol dramas, put yourself in the shoes of the heroine, and try to find that girlish, sweet, and romantic feeling."

The director had heard of Meng Yuan's professional ability. When he was confirming the preparations of various departments before filming began, he couldn't help but gossip with the project manager from Buyu Company who came to supervise the work:

"Letting Meng Yuan act with Mr. Shen, how is this different from public execution? What were you thinking at the time?"

The project manager tutted in dissatisfaction: "Let's not talk about Meng Yuan's current popularity. Just look at Meng Yuan's face and figure. Put her next to Shen Shuli. Don't you think she is pleasing to the eye?"

The director nodded.

"Tell me again, does the plot of our script this time combine immortal heroes, ancient times, modern times, sadomasochism, sweetness, and a sense of fate?"

The director nodded again.

"Are all these idol dramas on the market now criticized for having ugly male or female protagonists?"

The director is almost nodding his head like a reading machine.

"So, it doesn't matter if Meng Yuan's acting is terrible. At most, you can just make the promotional video into a PPT. As long as you can show the sense of fate between Meng Yuan and Shen Shuli in three lifetimes, the fans will use high-tech secondary creation."

The project leader pushed up his glasses and said, "Let's give the drama world a little shock."

The director was convinced and understood the effect the brand wanted to present.

In summary: if the acting skills are not good enough, the looks can make up for it.

Before filming began, the director had already prepared to make it into a PPT, but when filming Meng Yuan's solo scene, he unexpectedly discovered that her acting skills were actually quite good, and she portrayed the purity of a female college student to the fullest.

The director stared at the monitor with satisfaction. He turned around and found that Shen Shuli had sat next to him at some point.

"Mr. Shen, when did you come over?" The director immediately put on a smile. This was a big shot in the film industry. The director felt like his ancestors were grateful for the opportunity to work with him.

"Just got here." Shen Shuli smiled. In order to fit the role, he also changed into a white shirt and jeans, looking like a young male college student.

"I finished reading the script on the way here. Now it's time to film our scenes together."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Would you two like to walk through it first?" asked the director.

"Let's just shoot these scenes. This is the perfect set. Anyway, we don't have any interaction in these scenes. When you guys change the set later, we can just go over the scenes."

The scenes that Shen Shuli was referring to were the ones where Meng Yuan was unilaterally watching Shen Shuli.

There was indeed no interaction between the two, but Meng Yuan was asked to act out the feeling of secret love.

But during the actual filming, in the camera, Meng Yuan looked at Shen Shuli with no secret love in his eyes, only contemplation.

"Ka Ka Ka." After the director called for a pause for the fifth time, his temper gradually rose:

"Meng Yuan, I asked you to look at the person you have a crush on, not the person you want to kill. Watch your eyes! Watch your eyes!"

Meng Yuan couldn't help but frown. The entertainment industry was really not a place for people to stay.

It turns out that the most difficult thing is not being blackmailed by the entire network, but playing a couple with someone who has hurt you.
